Montenegro Tamagoyaki

My first impression of this cigar was of a slight vegetal taste with a peppery note, starting with white then transitioning to black. The cigar itself is nicely box-pressed, measuring 5 x 54, and features a distinctive black foot band that reminded me of nori, much like the Tamago depicted on the top band. I […]

Montenegro La Veguita

I’m continually amazed by what the folks at Privada offer each month. This time, it’s a 10-year-aged Nicaraguan, Cuban seed cigar. Let’s dive in!

Montenegro Black Serie F Toro

All natural! I used to think all cigars were 100% natural but this is not the case. No pesticides were used to make this cigar and alongside using a natural form of fermentation, this makes the cigar as pure as you can get! The fresh draw tastes of milk chocolate but once alight a pronounced […]

Montenegro Red Label Corona

Privada stated that this would be the case, and the reason is to control the flavours of the Nicaraguan tobacco. Interesting concept; is it only myself who hasn’t heard of this? I like […]
